 Uh, I think kdegames *should* compile - I'm running vesa on an
 ATI Radeon Mobility X1300, and it works just fine. Don't see why
 it shouldn't work on an Nvidia card either - I did this around 6 months
 ago, but currently don't have the box to confirm that everything is in
 working order.

Kdegames compiles, for some strange reason just not in pkgsrc. I haven't
time to investigate it yet. KDE runs just fine in DragonFly and as KDE
committer I hope to take care that it will stay so.

About graphics cards support - you just have to look at Xorg drivers and
forget about binary blobs. Intel chips (I use only these) have excellent
support, for ATI and Nvidia cards 2d is working mostly, latest chips may
not have support for all 2d accelerations (Xv, render). 3d hardware
acceleration isn't working in DragonFly anyway at the moment.

 KDE should work, though I think kdegames doesn't compile.

As others pointed out, the nv or vesa drivers for xorg should work - it's
just the binary driver from NVIDIA that's needed for 3D support.  If you
don't need 3D, you'll be fine.  I was wrong about kdegames, too - I've
just seen it not build in bulk builds.  So, yeah, you should be fine as
far as those go.   I needed to be less terse.

Finally got around to testing the recent updates..

This works like a charm on a machine that was currently not playing
anything (intellegable at least)..

Thanks to all involved in fixing it !!
